The best way they could improve Firefox snap performance is to ditch snap altogether. It's win win situation. They are trying to forcefully push something that no one wants or needs and that is frankly inferior to Flatpak.

They wrote about it before. They use various paid third-party APIs to power their own search. I guess that is the majority of the cost.

Just install Brave, its adblocker is natively implemented and not affected by Manifest V3 fiasco.

It's opt in. I don't see any Brave ads nor I use any crypto stuff, it's completely optional, and it helps them pay their bills. I prefer it better than for a browser to get 100 millions $ from Google

Most people don't write operating systems or write software in C/C++, so memory safety bugs are not big concern.

I'm going to quit, but not because of return-to-office, but because I can. I'll take few months off before searching for a new job. I don't have big expenses and plenty of cash in bank.

stable, by dictionary definition, means "not changing or fluctuating", no bugs would be "bug free", there is no "bug free" distro.

Once a week was never enough, they should have compared group that exercises 3x a week compared to little exercise every day. I would guess 3x a week will be much better.

Fortunately they are losing market share to KDE, so I say good riddance GNOME. Probably worst DE for Linux.

True or not, I just moved all projects from Gitlab to Github. Gitlab is on downward spiral lately.

Not surprised. Meat tastes good and bio-availability of animal protein is unmatched by any plant protein. Apart from minor vegan delusion in the Western nations, meat eating is not going away and it's not even reached its peak.

Can't go through all of them, but I'm curious is there anyone who uses Linux on their machine?

KDE is great, would like to use it full time, unfortunately I find it kind of buggy and not polished for my use case. Two blockers I stumbled upon last time I used it. I use the app that is not showing proper app icon but instead generic ic

I have used all possible DEs and Window Managers, and finally settled on Xfce. It's tried and true desktop paradigm which gets the job done. Vanilla GNOME is very inefficient and extensions are just lipstick on a pig.

LibreWolf is more slower than even Firefox. Getting 10% better privacy for half the performance and possible incompatibilities on the web is not worth it.

Brave has even better privacy and anti-fingerprint measures than Firefox https://privacytests.org/

I agree, Brave has pretty good privacy protections, anti-fingerprinting and ad-blocking out of the box. No need to install dozen of extensions and custom user.js like in Firefox. Only extension that I need is password manager and I'm g

I tried to like Firefox, I really do, I tried to use it as primary browser, but it's just noticeable less snappy and slower than anything Chromium based, so I always return back to Chromium (now Brave). Not to mention that I always hit

It won't. I'm using laptops since early 2000. Ability to take your computer to couch, bed, terrace, park, etc is irreplaceable. I do wonder why desktops still exist.
